My alert tones I purchased are on itunes but won't sync back to my iphone.

I tried to uncheck the alerts and then sync... then re-checked them and sync'd again but that only fixed my ringtone problem. Still cant see my alert tones... it's so frustrating to pay .99 for something and have it disappear... They are on my itunes under ringtones... and also in alerts some of my ringtones werent showing up. This happened once before and I re-purchased the alerts but to have them on itunes tells me... there is a way to get them back to my iphone. Can someone help me... I am usually pretty tech savvy but this is perplexing me.

Hope you don't mind me crashing your thread but I've ripped a movie and my DVD settings are the same as yours, I followed instructions on the Handbrake website and my picture settings were 320 x 100 and something (it was widescreen) and it still doesn't work. Says it cannot play on my iPod. It's a MP4 format and the H.264 setting as you have too. Don't know what I did wrong. It plays in iTunes and on Quicktime.
I'm trying to 'convert' it right now in iTunes but not holding my breath

Do I have to manually download all 322 songs that I purchases from Amazon? They are available in ITunes but won't sync.

I paid Apple for ITunes Match and it has backed up my Amazon mp3 songs
However it will not sync them to my IPhone 5s. I even manually opened the Amazon
Folder so that the songs are found in ITunes but they will not sync. Anyone know of a
Solution other than scrolling through 1600 songs and manually downloading more than
300 songs?

iTunes will only sync media to an iDevice that is physically on the computer.
The implication is that the media is in fact on the computer, so is that media added to iTunes and is it selected to sync?

Purchased items transferred to itunes and won't go back on my iPhone

I purchased a music album (Hey Rosetta! - Second Sight) on my iPhone 5 a couple of days ago. It didn't show up in my iTunes, so I plugged in & synced my iPhone with iTunes. The album then transferred to my iTunes and for some reason is no longer on my iPhone. I have tried syncing and selected the album to be on my iPhone 5 four times over the last couple of days. Each attempt has been unsuccessful , despite ample free space (over a gb). If I click on my iTunes store on my iPhone, it shows the album purchased, but I cannot download it. If I check under my playlists on my iPhone, and click on purchased items, the album does not show. Yet, I purchased it a few days ago on my iPhone. It's very frustrating! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Since ios5 my purchased music is showing on itunes but won't sync to my phone

Hi
Since dowloading ios 5 I've had loads of sync issues with my iPhone 3GS.
The latest is that any music that I've purchased, though showing and playing in iTunes will not sync to py phone, even though some of it was purchased using my phone. Any help please?

with your device connected go to iTunes > Music > click the sync music button, see if this helps.

ITouch is recognized by iTunes, but won't sync correctly.

Howdy. So, yeah. My ex-boyfriend was trying to make my computer run faster, whom I should never have let touch the thing in the first place, and he ended up deleting my previous computer identity. I still have all my music and freely redownloaded what I was missing. However, when I went to sync, I ran into a problem. My iPod was recognized by iTunes, but when I tried to sync, it just said starting sync for hours, and wouldn't advance after that. It wasn't frozen, because I was able to stop the sync whenever I wanted. So I reinstalled iTunes and I've updated it to the new thing, the 10.1.2... I think that's it. Now my iPod advances past starting sync and goes to preparing sync (step 1 of 1), and then stops and tells me it's ok to unplug it. It didn't transfer or change anything in my iPod. I have the 3rd gen iPod Touch with the 4th gen software downloaded onto it. My computer is a Windows XP. Any and all help is appreciated.

A couple of things to check:
Are there any backups listed in iTunes/settings/devices? Since backing up is the first step of the sync process, iTunes might be stuck trying to read the content of the last backup in order to replace it with the new one.
Copy the whole backup folder to a safe place, delete the backup from the list afterwards and make sure that the folder has no content after that. The folder is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files
After that, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". If you can backup manually, transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to your iTunes. If this worked, you should be able to sync again.
To speed up the sync process, copy your photos to your computer prior to the sync and delete them on your ipod before you start.

My device is recognized by itunes but won't sync and failed the sync diagnostic test. I've restarted the computer, reset the ipod . . . nothing works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

iTunes shows the iPod is connected but doesn't show it in the drop down menu under Devices, and the "sync" option is grayed out, so I can't sync the nano with iTunes. I ran the diagnostic tests and it shows the device is connected, but it failed the sync test - it said nothing was connected, even though it passed the connectivity test. We've had the iPod for a few months but this is the first time we've tried to do anything with it. It's fully charged but just won't sync. I turned it off, turned it on. I reset it. I restarted the computer. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Apps in itunes but won't sync to my phone

I upgraded iTunes on my iMac 24 and my iPhone 3g to 3.0. In the process I thought I lost most of my purchased apps. I found them in iTunes in need of upgrades to 3.0 compatibility. After updating them all, they still won't sync to my ipPhone - What gives?

Thanks for replying. I did a search for TS1414 and it took me to an article that was TS1713 that said old article was TS1414 but it was for MagSafe adapters.
I had followed TS1275 instructions after I got the 4026xxx error and it had me copy the contents of the backup directory to the desktop. Is this what you are refferring to ? If so, then would I restore as new and somehow access that copy of the backup directory? If so, would you be able to tell me how? If not, then how do I get my apps, etc back after restoring to new?
Thanks

Just upgraded to ios 6 and newest itunes (first time for 4g ipod touch I've had for years). After the restore, it no longer syncs when plugged in. My music is in itunes, but won't sync to my ipod.

Please help. I finally gave in to updating software because my apps wouldn't update without io5. I ensured all of my music and apps and pictures were listed on my iTunes so that when it restored it would all sync back. Well, my ipod is restored, and my pictures are moved over, but my apps are not. I guess I can go and re-install individually, but what is the purpose of having them on iTunes?? Also, NONE of my music is on my ipod and there does not seem to be a way to move it from iTunes.
Also, at the top right of iTunes where it has the spots for Library and iPod Touch. If I click on the iPod, the icon just disappears! iTunes used to have a column on the left side that listed my ipod and I could move things to it (like my music). Is this how the new version is or am I just missing something?
I am so frustrated right now after spending hours....

Ignore. I figured it out:)

File is in itunes but won't sync to touch

AAC m4a podcast - Plays in iTunes, but won't sync to iPod, HELP!

Really confused with what's happening here. The podcast isn't on the iTunes store, so I know it's not guaranteed to work with iPod, but I've never had any problems with m4a or AAC files before, and I know it's supposed to work on iPods, so why wouldn't mine?

As a footnote to your answer I'd like to add the following:
I experiened this exact problem AND I had made sure that the artwok appeared in every entry. The only differrence was that I was saving the artwork to disk, selecting ALL the entries for a specific album, selecting get info (multiple) and then double clicking the artwork field and browsing my hard drive to locate the artwork.
After doing this, the artowrk did appear in ITunes but would not download to the iPod.
My solution was to still pick all the album's songs but rather than search the hard drive for the artwork, I would find it on the web and copy the image (simple copy). After this I would simply paste it in the multi artwork field.
This has worked ever since and will surely cure the above artwork problem.

IPod Classic recognized by iTunes, but won't sync? (Windows 8)

iTunes recognizes it and I can go to the menu that displays the filled memory, options (enables disk use, sync only checked songs, etc.), and "sync" button. The iPod screen says that it is connected and charging, and it does not freeze. The computer doesn't have any issues; iTunes (11.0.0.163) doesn't crash or anything.
Everything seems fine, but when I click the "sync" button, nothing happens. I tried changing some settings and hitting "apply" instead to sync it, but that doesn't work either.
My computer is running Windows 8, and I've heard that some people have been having problems with using iTunes on this operating system. The only solution I've found is to make sure disk use is enabled, but that hasn't worked for me (it seems to only apply to newer models of iPod, not my Classic). I honestly don't know what I'll do if Windows 8 is incompatible with Classics because I just spent a lot of money on the iPod and this is the only computer I can use!
I'd love some help with this. Solutions are preferable of course, but even if you can just identify whether this is a problem with me/my computer or with Apple vs Windows, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks

What seems to have worked is checking "manually manage music and videos" and dragging all my music onto my iPod, instead of just letting the normal iTunes sync work.
I'm still upset about this, but as long as I can SOMEHOW get music on my iPod, I can wait until Apple fixes this problem. Which they better do.

Voice Memos sync to itunes, but don't sync back to iPhone

When I sync my iPhone with iTunes, the "Voice Memos" playlist gets created and I get my memos into iTunes just fine. However, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that when you delete a memo from iTunes it should be deleted from your iPhone on the next sync, and also that you should be able to add memos into iTunes and they sync into your iPhone. Not only does this not work for me, but when I delete a memo from iTunes and then sync my iphone, I get an error saying my iPhone couldn't sync, error code 13019. Once I delete the memo from the iPhone MYSELF, the iPhone syncs okay.
Incidentally, I also find that even if I name a memo on the iPhone, when I sync it into iTunes it comes through with just the date as the title, not the name I gave it on iTunes.
Is anyone else noticing this behavior with Voice Notes? I did actually try restoring my iPhone and it didn't chance anything.

Seens to be fixed with iTunes 11.2.2.

Songs are in playlist but won't sync because cannot be found

I had an Ipod 4 for 3 years and didn't had any problems. But since I've got my Ipod 5, I have problems with syncing my music. The music folder hasn't change and my libraries either. When I sinc, Itunes telles me that about half of my songs "could not be found" even though it's not true because the music is right there in the forlder and library. Anyone can tell me how to fix this?

Cettina70,
If you want to manually add tracks to your iPod, you'll need to set your iPod up to manually manage music and videos by enabling this option from under your iPod's Summary tab.
Otherwise, you'll need to double check your configurations on how your iPod is set up to sync Music from your iTunes library.

On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
